La proprietà — Arnika
Arnika is a no-fuss 3-star in the heart of Martell, with bright wood-panelled rooms and a sun terrace that looks straight up the Val Martello. The vibe is quietly active: walkers in boots sharing a cold beer after a day on the trails, and families settling in for a simple, hearty dinner. Standing in the lobby, you smell pine and clean mountain air, and you know the staff actually know the valley's best walks by heart. It works best for hikers, cyclists, and anyone who wants a solid base without paying for spa frills.
Cronache di Martell
Martell (Martello in German) grew as a high-altitude farming community in the Val Martello, a side valley of the Vinschgau, first recorded in the 12th century. Its economy long depended on hay, livestock and timber, with scattered hamlets like Gand and Transacqua linked by narrow mule tracks. The 20th century brought hydroelectric projects on the Plima river and cautious alpine tourism, leaving Martell quieter than its glitzy neighbour, Sulden. Today its identity is firmly tied to the Stelvio National Park, with a mix of South Tyrolean German- and Italian-speaking locals who value conservation over crowds.
Il momento migliore per visitare
Guida completa di Martell →I migliori mesi
June and September — reliable sun, long daylight, wildflowers or autumn colours, and trails fully open without peak queues. July is also good but busier on the weekend.
Peak / Festival Surge
August is peak domestic holidays: Italian families fill the valley, hotel rates rise 20–30%, and you’ll want to book lunch tables early. The ‘Marteller Almlauf’ trail-running event in July also draws a spike.
Stagione di spalla
Mid-June and early October are your budget sweet spots: same fine weather, lighter crowds, and you may find rates 15–20% below August. October can get crisp mornings but excellent walking.
Meteo e imballaggio
The valley floor sits at 1,300m but trails climb above 2,500m — afternoon thunderstorms are common even in June. Pack waterproof shell trousers and a fleece layer for every day; never rely on just a rain jacket and T‑shirt.
Briefing della città — Martell
- The Martell–Cevedale cable car (Funivia Montana) is running a reduced spring schedule in 2026 due to maintenance; check before planning high-altitude walks from the top station.
- New cycle path connecting Martell to the Vinschgau Railway at Silandro opens fully in summer 2026, giving easy bike access to the valley without driving.
- Locals are asking visitors to keep dogs on leads after an increase in chamois disturbances on the upper Plima valley trails.

Principali attrazioni a Martell
💡 Pick up the map from the tourist office in Gand; the 'Circular Route 1' is flat and takes about 90 minutes at a strolling pace.
💡 Start early morning for the best light on the peaks and fewer crowds. Wear sturdy shoes after rain.
💡 The key hangs on a hook just inside the porch if the door is locked; feel free to go in quietly. No photography during services.
💡 Pack a picnic – the grassy bank on the east side is a quiet spot for lunch. No shade, so go in the morning.
💡 Go late afternoon when the sun lights the gorge walls; the bridge can be slippery after rain — wear grippy shoes.
💡 Check the notice board for occasional free guided tours in German or Italian during summer weekends.
💡 Access via a short unmarked path opposite the car park at Laces bridge. Water temp rarely exceeds 14°C even in August — a quick dip only.
💡 Drive or cycle to the trailhead – no public transport. Bring binoculars for spotting golden eagles on the cliffs to the south.
